64. I think that's a plausible outlook.

However, Vance, whatever cache he has among the below-averages, doesn't have whatever poisonous, corrosive, squalid, malevolent charisma that Trump's supporters respond so feverishly to. You're right; he'll probably have a Der Führer ist Todt honeymoon. But I don't see it lasting long. Every thing that Trump does that his worshippers insist is radical and iconoclastic would just look clumsy and odious if Vance did them. I don't predict the rats will stay on the ship for very long.
